RSA Toy Cipher (Educational) implementation

Binding contract

This record describes what an executable surface must bind and validate. It does not claim that a public calculator, package, or production route is deployed.

Effect

Computation or source lookup only

Input and validation requirements

Invalid exponents can produce an undefined private exponent, so the instrument must reject e values with gcd(e,φ(n))≠1. Inputs at or beyond the canonical message boundary can also silently lose information: message 15 encrypts and decrypts to 0 modulo 15. Negative-message handling is convention-dependent and can expose a mismatch between residue output 14 and signed plaintext −1.

Required corrections

No binding erratum is attached to this unique-name record. Implementers must still preserve the declared units, domain, and failure behavior.

Inspectable interface fixture

The sample below is evidence for interface and validation tests, not a production implementation.

Decryption: 13^2=169 mod55=4; 13^4=4^2=16; 13^8=16^2=256 mod55=36; 13^16=36^2=1296 mod55=31. Since 27=16+8+2+1, 13^27 mod55=((31·36 mod55)·4 mod55)·13 mod55=(16·4 mod55)·13 mod55=9·13 mod55=117 mod55=7."
